Have you ever dreamed of living in a traditional home in a charming colonial city, where you can enjoy an evening walk down lamp-lit streets, past beautiful old buildings with music in the air? If you have, you may wish to consider Yucatan real estate, especially the capital city of Merida, which combines all of this romantic charm with modern conveniences, and a wide range of homes, both in style and in price.
Merida is full of culture, both defining the visual atmosphere and lifestyle of the city. Besides beautiful examples of colonial architecture in old cathedrals and public buildings, there are numerous museums, art galleries and theaters; Merida is also a place where music and dancing are a part of day to day life of the people. After you have made Merida your home, you also will enjoy each of these as a part of your day to day life.
For those who are planning for this kind of lifestyle, rich in culture, but need to do so on a budget, very affordable properties can be found a short distance from the historic center. Small, but comfortable homes are available for under $100,000. Those who like the idea of a personal project can find old, very traditional style homes that are in need of some investment for under $75,000. Of course, the size of the project depends a lot on the condition of the house; but even colonial age properties can be found, rich with potential to become a home like no one else has!
On the other end of the spectrum, for closer up towards a million dollars, a Mexico home can be found that dates to the beginning of the last century, when the tastes of the dictator Porfirio Diaz influenced many members of the upper classes to use a European for their homes. Spacious courtyards, elegant fountains, lush gardens and many luxuries will complement a fully restored home from this era.
These are only two ideas; Yucatan real estate in the city of Merida could be a huge mansion from the heyday of the city’s upper class, costing closer to 2 million, or it could be just about anything in between this broad span of ranges, all offering a truly Mexican style home in a city most suitable to offer you its charm and romance.
Merida and the surrounding area also offer many options in modern style real estate, not to mention many modern conveniences. While the city center is rich with history and tradition, Merida also includes large, new shopping malls, large-screen movie theaters, world-class golf, top-of-the-line hospitals, international restaurants and much more. And to top it all off, these two worlds which combine in Merida are brought together in a safe and secure city; you will not feel worried about your safety here.
